Daniel Barroca explores different ways of dealing with objects or images and their history. By obstructing, conserving or even attacking the image, he adds filters that point out the time that has passed. The photo album by his father, with pictures from the Portuguese colonial war in Guinea-Bissau, has inspired Barroca ever since he started studying art. Recently he realized that his perspective on Portuguese colonial history was very Eurocentric, and he started developing an interest in African art, objects and rituals. In his current work, Barroca exorcises the past by confronting objects with a rich variety of media and alterations.
